David Tennant (Doctor Who) heads up a stellar guest cast as Tycho Reeves, a billionaire inventor much admired by Brains, Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones, Me Before You) who voices Doyle, a courageous oil rig worker who stands up for what is right and allies herself with International Rescue and Australia’s own Adam Hills (Spicks and Specks, The Last Leg) as Buddy Pendergast, a famous television explorer.

Thunderbirds Are Go is the re-imagining of the classic series, produced by ITV Studios and New Zealand-based Pukeko Pictures production, in collaboration with world-famous Weta Workshop (Avatar, King Kong, The Lord of the Rings), using a unique mix of CGI animation and live-action model sets.

When disaster strikes, and the odds seem impossible…when danger lies ahead, and there’s no one else to help, International Rescue answers the call!
